The entire joint is good. I loved Trojan horse. The beat is immaculate. I didn't get ear fatigue listening to caper. I don't listen to a lot of rap, I listen to instrumentals like crazy so I was concerned that I either wouldn't feel the raps or that I'd tune out at some point but it didn't happen.

Glad we maintained your interest and you didn't tune out. The majority of the album is on some high energy shyt and Trojan Horse is a nice break from that in the middle of the album. Capers verse is really dope and that sample was crazy, it's from a Ennio Morricone track but I don't remember which one lol.
Thanks for checking it out...

:whew:

Dope. As expected, the beats are top notch and the rhymes blend well with overall sound and theme. Caper reminds me of Vinnie Paz. Nice flow. In fact this whole album reminds me of a Jedi Mind Tricks album. I love the cinematic feel to it and how the story and theme are represented throughout the album.

Tiger Style, No Fear and Vicious Claws are my favorite tracks.

Appreciate that friend, I thought Caper did a great job and I really did try to evolve my usual style into something slightly different. The obvious choice of production for a project like this would of been to make the lo-fi Kung fu beats that tons of beat makers already do well, so I think we delivered that vibe but updated.
Thanks for listening and the feedback.

Review from another site......


INTRO - nice opening dialogue snippet, sets the atmosphere right. I like the beat too. ALLOW THE TIGER TO ROAM FREE!


Tiger Claw - okay, hands down MONSTER TRACK RIGHT HERE. effective killer beat, could listen to this all day. Caper goes in with his martial raps. I like the second verse best. Good similes throughout the song. TIGER STYLE'S UNBEATABLE!


NO FEAR - menacing beat right here. Caper sounding very confident again. I SHATTER THE WINDOWS OF DESTINY


CHINICAN CONNECTION - victorious horns! good addition of martial arts sound effects. all great verses but imo Maximus took it. Saunt adds a nice different flavor to the track. WATCH OUT FOR THE BRAIN GAUGING


EVIL MASTERZ - really elegant beat. this slightly understated beat is my third fav on the album. btw I'm a sucker for female vocal samples so that little shout was a plus too. I'M SHIFTING REALITY FROM A LOST EQUATION


TROJAN HORSE - hypnotic beat, best one on the album for me. some excellent social commentary from Caper on this one. really heartfelt track. WE NEED SOME UNITY FOR OUR OWN UPRISING


VICIOUS CLAWZ - beat is hard as nails. Caper goes in. THE CLAN'S HEAVY WITH MACHETES


THE LOST SCRIPTURES OF FU JOW PAI - once again great intro dialogue snippet - MY SWORD IS MY SOUL, IT CANNOT BE BOUGHT - everyone comes correct on this one, impressive posse cut. I'M THAT DUDE THAT MEN MEDITATE ALTERNATE PAY FOR. No Ordinary sounding kinda young or is it just his voice?

gravey after hearing that verse I'm gonna need to hear the new albums ...


IN CAGED RAGE - dope beat. first time I heard Kraze Kanbee I think, he made a good impression


TEN TIGERS - my second favorite beat right here. DSR showing most of their talent on here. would have been good to hear Skamp spit a verse as well but the tiger cage is only so big lol. everybody flowing well again on this one. I like the diversity in flows a lot. Automatik Greatness' short verse was pure lava. Redd Rebel switching up his style a lil bit for his closing verse, liking it.



this album was really well put together, just like the previous few EPs. this album is longer of course, has more features and feels like a well rounded album, tied together by Caper's sharp barbs, the selected dialogue snippets and Clanarchy's consistenly high end beats which are as good as but sound distinctly different from Beatjitzu's great lofi beats that were on display on the previous EPs. clearly Caper can carry a full album on his own (we've been witness to that before) but the features on here definitely add to the project, with Maximus, Graveyard Shifter and Automatik Greatness competing for the best feature. also a shoutout to Saunt's different type of flow. Caper's flow is consistently on point throughout the album

easily a 9 out of 10 for me
